Actually, you can. It is very costly and labor intensive though.
Even with 87,000 miles, turbocharging is a bad idea, it definately needs rebuilt before you think of forced induction. I personally think you should stick with N/A, tear your motor apart and get porting done and rebuild it. Your engine will have the same HP as a turbo engine, but will be far more reliable and will definately cost less than turbocharging.
